   uk (Robert Trevelyan)Organization: IBM AIX Systems Support Centre,   
   UK.Lines: 62    On July 17 the largest and most extraordinary of all   
   pictograms appeared in a wheatfield below Barbury Castle, an Iron age   
   hill-fort near Swindon. Nothing had been in   
   the field at Barbury Castle at 9 p.m the previous evening when local   
   pilot had flown over it .The formationconsists of an enormous   
   equilateral triangle (with side of about 180 ft)which encloses a   
   doubly-ringed circle. Rings are widely separatedand ea   
   ch about 7 ft wide. Each angle of the triangle is bisected by pathways   
   leading from the centre of the formation to circular designs, each   
   different, beyond each apex. One design is a plain ring (38 ft diam).   
   The second is a ring of similar size like   
   a flower with six petals. The third is a spiral which opens out in six   
   steps, like a ratchet, each time it turns through 90 degrees; this is   
   of similar size to the other designs.    Obviously Meaden's theory   
   that the circles are caused by a naturally   
    occurring atmospheric vortex could not possibly survive acceptance of   
   this great geometric design as the genuine phenomenon, and the next   
   day he made a statement to the media to the effect that he believed it   
   a hoax. This was inevitable. However all   
    the other researchers are in complete agreement that the pictogram is   
   genuine and represents yet another stage in the evolution of this   
   bizarre phenomenon. Apart from physical characteristics being the   
   same, the dowsing reactions in the pictogram ar   
   e very strong and definite. The whole formation seems to be charged   
   with an almost tangible energy.  A keen circles watcher had been   
   cropwatching with two friends at Beckhampton at about midnight when   
   they had seen a pulsing light moving silently acr   
   oss the sky. During the course of the next hour they saw five more   
   such objects, some white and some pulsing green, red and white. All   
   were silent though at times they seemed comparatively close to where   
   they stood. At one time a dark object flew swi   
   ftly and silently overhead, blotting out the stars. The three were   
   quite frightened by this strange display, and likened what they'd seen   
   to a sequence from "Close Encounters of the Third Kind".  Some of   
   their sightings were in the direction of Barbu   
   ry Castle which is just five miles away, but at the time of telling   
   this story were quite unaware of what had been found in the fields.   
   Other reports are still being received of anomalous lights in the sky   
   in that area on that night. In the morn   
   ing two other pictograms were also found within about three miles of   
   the magnificent one at Barbury Castle. On the following night it is   
   reported that Wroughton, a town about two miles away, was shaken by a   
   loud aerial explosion which caused all the   
   lights to go out, and cars failed to start. The area rapidly filled   
   with army vehicles which appeared to be looking for something, but the   
   power soon came back on again and normality was restored.      What is   
   going on in this part of Wiltshire ??? +
